Automobile accident (hit and run)
hello,
yesterday while driving to work,my car's left side window hit a pedestrian on his right elbow . i stopped immediately and asked if he got any injury. he stated to have some pain but otherwise he was not complaining. since i am a doctor i asked him to come with me to the hospital and get himself checked out which he refused though i asked him several times.
i went to work and later he came to my workplace stating he was in serious pain, i advised him to get medication stat and offered to pay for his treatment which he declined as he was running late for his work . 1 hr later he again came to my workplace
i checked his stated injured hand, there was no bruising , no swelling , no laceration , no crepitus though he was insistent that he was in a lot of pain, hence i gave him a prescription for pain medications and asked him to get the drugs from a nearby pharmacy and said he do not need to pay as i will cover the expanse and asked him to do an x-ray and provide me with the fee recipe and i will pay him the required sum. also i offered to pay for further treatment regarding his current injury.
today morning he called me and asked for money which i declined as he was not willing to provide the details of his expenditure and also tried to intimidate me by going to police and filing a case against me .
i would like to know the following :
1) does he even has a case against me ,since there is no proof of even simple injury let alone grievous injury
2) if he files a case against me will it hamper my carries as i am pursuing post graduation
3) will i lose my driving licence (i just got it after passing a practical driving exam)
4)what should be my approach in this case from now on,,

well , the car was still on the move,, it was a narrow road and i was driving at 2nd gear about 20-25 km/hr speed.
still my father asked him to come to a specific laboratory to undergo radiological examination.
i was thinking of your said denial mode but i am not sure if its legally correct.
there were also people around that time (4or 5) but nobody noticed anything until we started to argue on the street .
so denial is the best policy for me right now ?
